First Cycle Cutting

[Kay kay]

Can you explain why you think bacon is a poor food choice? I have an interesting write up of its benefits when fit into a meal plan properly I’ll show you, but I want to hear your opinions first. Is it because it’s a stereotypical bad food or do you have an actual reason? Again, sausage depending on the meat can be a great part of anyone’s meal plan.

Taco shells etc no they are not ideal but having 20% of your calories a day from things like that, when still fitting your macros, are not going to hurt you. I guess I’m looking at things from a long term quest for national competitor level size point of view, but when you’re eating 5k cals plus a day, if you’re getting good micros from 4K of those cals you’re laughing. If I have to eat 150 cals in taco shells to get down the 900 cals of quality meat and veggies then I think that’s a great meal when looked at from that perspective.

Perspective yes!

Not into debating the merits of bacon in YOUR diet. The OP titled the thread First Cycle cutting. He’s listed a diet around 3K calories daily (not keto, otherwise go nuts with yo bacon). I guess I’m wrong to believe taco shells, bacon, sausage, and hash browns should not be consumed daily on a cutting diet.

Sure if YOU are eating these items daily on your 5k calorie daily intake to get cut more power to you. Good luck on your cutting.
